Winner of several accolades, including Best Picture from various film critics groups, David Fincher's 'The Social Network' is now available on home video.
The film is the stunning tale of a new breed of cultural insurgent: a punk genius who sparked a revolution and changed the face of human interaction for a generation, and perhaps forever. Shot through with emotional brutality and unexpected humor, this superbly crafted film chronicles the formation of Facebook and the battles over ownership that followed upon the website's unfathomable success.
With a complex, incisive screenplay by Aaron Sorkin and a brilliant cast including Jesse Eisenberg, Andrew Garfield and Justin Timberlake, 'The Social Network' bears witness to the birth of an idea that rewove the fabric of society even as it unraveled the friendship of its creators.
Bonus features on the DVD include audio commentary with David Fincher, audio commentary with writer Aaron Sorkin & the cast, 'How Did They Ever Make a Movie of Facebook?: feature length documentary,' and Trent Reznor, Atticus Ross and David Fincher on the Score.
For two years, Kartemquin filmmaker Maria Finitzo follows five strong young women between the ages of 13 and 17. Unlike the mainstream media who portray young women as passive, powerless or mean, '5 Girls' explores the ways these girls navigate adolescence. It focuses on the positive ways that girls learn to adapt to challenges in their lives by understanding and exercising choices, by resisting powerful cultural messages and by believing in their strength when others do not.
